Questions about chicken meat
What the numbers say to the questions people actually search.
How many calories are in a portion of chicken meat?
A typical portion (100 g cooked) gives 177 kcal. Per 100 g the figure is 177 kcal.
Is chicken meat high in niacin?
Yes. Chicken, meat, average, roasted has 14.5 mg niacin per 100 g, 91 % of the NRV, above the 30 % threshold for a “high in” claim.
Does roasting change the fat in chicken meat?
Yes. Per 100 g, fat goes from 2.1 g raw to 7.5 g roasted. Part of that is the vitamin or mineral itself changing, part is the change in water content.
Which vitamins and minerals does chicken meat have most of?
By share of the daily reference intake: niacin (14.5 mg, 91 %), phosphorus (220 mg, 31 %) and selenium (0.016 mg, 29 %) per 100 g.
How these numbers were made
Every figure comes from the UK Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID), 2021 edition, record 18-331, Chicken, meat, average, roasted, published by Public Health England under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Main data references: Reviewed 2013. LGC, Nutrient analysis of chicken and turkey, 1994-1995. Values are per 100 g of the edible part; a portion is 100 g, 100 g cooked, the usual UK portion for poultry and game. Reference intakes follow Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 Annex XIII as retained in GB law; “source of”, “high in” and “low” follow Regulation (EC) 1924/2006, assessed per 100 g. Function lines are the authorised wording from the GB register of nutrition and health claims, credited to the nutrient. Energy is rounded to the whole kcal and kJ; other amounts to one decimal, or two below 1. A trace is shown as “trace” and never gets a figure or a badge; a nutrient never analysed is left off the page. We start from the dataset’s 2,887 records and keep 2,322: records weighed with bone, shell or skin, alcoholic drinks, infant foods, brand-named products, records with fewer than eight measured vitamins and minerals and near-identical variants are left out. Group context uses the 82 poultry and game kept from the dataset; a rank counts only the foods with a measured figure for that nutrient. Food images are illustrations from Ingredient Atlas, released under CC0; they show the food, not the measured sample, and where no illustration of the exact food exists the nearest one is shown (here: Whole Chicken). Checked 5 October 2026. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
